Froyo for You?

After upgrading to the myTouch Slide from my old G1, I was a tad bit disappointed to see that Froyo, codename for the newest release of the Android OS (version 2.2), wasn't available for it yet.

So, like any good techie consumer, I went searching for an answer... would my new phone be receiving the Froyo update? If so, when?

While the former question seems to have a definitive answer (yes), the latter question remains largely unanswered. Intomobile reports T-Mobile as saying "coming soon" for both the myTouch 3G and the myTouch slide, while PCWorld reports that it should arrive by the end of 2010.

Unlike pure Android phones, the myTouch slide uses a blend of Android 2.1 and HTC's Sense (Wikipedia link... best I could quickly find, but it's a lowly rated article), which gives it a more unique feel, but probably explains the lack of immediate implementation.
